I couldn’t be any more in love. It works great as a running watch (something I have wanted for over a year) and it doubles as a fitness watch too. I am constantly amazed by the amount of steps (or lack thereof) that I take on a daily basis.

It also keeps track of how much I move when I sleep, beeps at me if I am still for “to long” and all sorts of other fun, crazy stuff.

If you have been thinking about a fitness watch, I highly recommend this one.(This is not a sponsored or affiliate recommendation. I just really like it that much.)

{THREE} Photography Classes

On Monday I brought up that I was learning to take pictures in manual. I was surprised by how many of you commented that you were to or you wanted to. We also all seemed to agree on how intimidating it seems. After finding out I was not alone I wanted to share with you a link that is full of resources for free online courses.

I am currently working my way through #4 on that list but would eventually like to try more of them out.

You can also follow this Pinterest board I share with a friend for more photo tips that we find helpful.

Happy Friday, gal! I'm starting to learn how to shoot manual too, so thanks for sharing the resource link! I love your long hair, but I also totally think you'd look great with the shorter do! I cut my long hair off in December and haven't regretted it. It's taking some time to learn how to style short hair, but it's a nice change! Thanks for adding to The Pick!!

I have been eyeing the Forerunner for the longest time. I received the Nike+ watch, which I like, but I'm hoping to save a little cash to get the Forerunner. I've heard nothing but great things about it! Can't wait to see what you decide to do with your hair. Whatever you choose it will be gorgeous!Also, just a bit jealous of your race schedule. I'm already ready to get back into the swing of things… Too bad the farthest I've been able to go these days is 4 miles. HA!

oh so tomorrow is the big hair day!!! Exciting. Can't wait to see what you decide either way. Partly I'd love to see how you'd look with the short hair, partly I like longer hair better haha. But hey, it'll grow back either way.

Oh my goodness, can't wait to read that tutorial!!! So awesome! And thank you for the list of resources. Checking that out now! And I can't wait to see what you decide with your hair. I am torn, too! I love your hair now, but think the bottom right would look great too!
